Research locations when files are shared
Give collaborators location context as soon as a file reaches them.
Trigger
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Action
Google Locations
Tool to retrieve google-supported locations. use when searching for locations by name. returns locations ordered by reach (most populous first).
Why this helps
Sharing a file often starts a handoff, but the location details needed for action stay buried.
- Improve handoff quality
- Surface location context early
- Reduce back and forth
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Autom once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Research locations when files are shared.
- 3Tell Notis to use the shared file metadata and supplied context to ask Autom for matching locations.
- 4Pick File Shared (Permissions Added) as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one shared file.
Questions about this workflow
Does it notify the new viewer?
It creates a run report; choose the report channel that fits your handoff process.
Can it use the file title only?
Yes. You can instruct Notis to use title, description, or supplied notes.
